Derrick Henry may be out for the season now. Investing big in rbs is looking more and more dicey in the nfl these days.

 

Abdullah was a great signing, really liked the up tempo dual rb threat with Chuba. Solid 2 running back rotation for under $2 million. 49ers and Bears have been doing the same thing with cheap backups/rookies

I was referring to his new contract but yeah they got an excellent return on their draft value there. Unreal that Bradberry was our only successful pick that year.

Didn’t see he signed a 50 mill contract last year. Yikes. Although if I had to bet for a rb to be worth a 2nd contract it would’ve been Henry just based on how he’s built. He’s like the Cam of rbs.

Traditionally big backs tend of have shorter careers. Henry definitely earned his money but I am still generally against spending wildly on a RB in thr modern NFL.

The Tennessee situation is a little different in that their offense is largely completely built around Henry. Which....that isn't a smart way to build an offense, IMO.

It’s not at all but Henry is freakish which is why I said if I absolutely had to bet it would’ve been on Henry. Obviously that’s not working out lol

Yeah, that usage rate is just insane and Henry is such a physical carrier. That just isn't sustainable unless Henry is just one of those rare freaks that doesn't break down.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
